Auger Point Trim Head Deck Screws made of 18-8 stainless steel. Square Drive Trim Heads are a great idea. Because the head size is so small there's not much metal to support the driver bit. We recommend pre-drilling holes and lubricating the screws for best results. Square drive is also known as Robertson drive.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I used this screw to reinforce the corners (under the seat) of oak library chairs (children's size) I restored for an elementary school. The screw size coupled with the auger tip provided an ease of use (with pre-drilling) and good "biting" power. The only criticism I have is that the Robertson head could strip more easily than with a conventional square-head drive screw.
Robertson's fast service was also a plus!
